Spit Shine

Once the Plex Server finished indexing all the content from scratch I noticed a lot of incorrect matches and after all this hard work I wasn’t prepared to see all the content in disarray. One issue I found was the agent being used to acquire the metadata for the media files was basically shit. We’re talking slow, and horribly inaccurate meaning shitty looking thumbnails and backgrounds. I swapped the default agent and re-analysed all the content once again and this time, with some tweaking and bulk file renaming for easier recognition by the metadata agent it turned out beautiful. Accurate, clean and complete. Have a look in real time on the Plex or check out this screenshot from a small portion of the Movies section.

Some more content is on the way but for the most part everything is all ready and stable. Because of the strain on my network I’m worried the uptime monitor will mistakenly think the server is down since it simply can’t make a connection to say “Hi, I’m still alive and kicking!” which would make the uptime ration go to hell so in a few days I’ll re-enable the uptime monitor and statistics pages for your convenience however till then just assume the server is up and I’ll try to keep the network stress on my side to a minimum during the daytime and take care of business at night.
